Premier title to be officially used once constitutional amendment gazetted, says S'wak minister


KUCHING: The term "Premier" to address Sarawak's head of government will be used officially once it has been gazetted, says Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.

The state Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister said following the state legislative assembly's approval of the constitutional amendment Bill to rename the title, it would have to go through the process of gazettement and a date appointed by the Head of State for it to come into force.
